I just got a Boden one in a charity shop for £2.99

then I come on here and read a thread saying they are over

they are back, now, I have decided it is up to me and everyone needs to put them back on again

I'm with you totally. I have a few that are so flattering I wear them to the office and I always get lots of compliemnts, so mine are here to stay.

So there.

I was a bit miffed reading that too.

Wrap dresses suit me dammit!

PleasinglyPointless · 27/05/2009 18:01

can we just pretend that we know more than she does?

ReallyReally · 27/05/2009 18:01

so they are going to be around for a good while yet according The World According To Me

in fact I think that it was the Daily Mail that said they were over a year or two ago

god to be two years behind the Daily Mail

she should stick her head in a box

I've just paid stupid money for an Isabella Oliver maternity one off ebay...

They are here for at least another 7 months

LetThemEatCake · 27/05/2009 18:45

who said they were over???

I just charity-shopped all of mine the other week, but only because I realised that I hated the prints. Not the style.

LucilleMum2OscarandLydia · 27/05/2009 18:46

i have never really got into the whole wrap dress thing, suspect i don't have the figure

rookiemater · 27/05/2009 18:53

Wrap dresses are here forever. The only garment that is flattering for work and fits in my bicycle paniers without getting crushed.

ReallyReally · 27/05/2009 18:56

well there you go then

now it is cycle-friendly sustainable/ethical living garment

also no leccy for ironing = energy-saving clothing choice

OP posts:
lou33 · 27/05/2009 18:58

i havent ironed in about 4 yrs

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 27/05/2009 19:01

I also read that comment with dismay. I love my wrap dresses and will be wearing them once more come autumn. I don't have any summer ones, never been able to find one I like.

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 27/05/2009 19:02

I don't understand this, if a garment suits you why the hell would you take any notice of whether it was "in" or not?

ReallyReally · 27/05/2009 19:06

well no I wouldn't

I'm not going to bin it or anything

I've worn far, far less fashionable, believe me

I refuse to get rid of my lovely DVF numbers! They suit me and they are so easy to dress up/down.

LetThemEatCake · 27/05/2009 19:23

tell me who said they were over!!! or at least link me to thread

hf128219 · 27/05/2009 19:26

Liz Jones! DVF herself.

lou33 · 27/05/2009 19:48
